Droid X Hits Verizon Stores on Thursday

The next member of the Droid family, the Droid X, will be hitting Verizon Wireless stores on Thursday.

The Droid X is Motorola's latest Google Android device, featuring a 4.3-inch screen, 8-megapixel camera, HDMI out put and more (check out our hands-on look at the Droid X video and photo capabilities).

The Droid X looks like it will be shipping with Android 2.1, but both Android 2.2 — or Froyo as it is affectionately called — and Adobe Flash Player 10.1 will be available via an over-the-air update later this summer.

The original Droid was a huge hit for Verizon and has been the most successful Android device to-date. Since its release last November, many high-end Android-based smartphones have hit the market, including the Nexus One, HTC Incredible, HTC EVO 4G and the Dell Streak.

The Droid X will be available for $199 after a $100 mail-in-rebate and a new, two-year contract.
